Abstract

A structural component, especially a shielding component, has structural parts (10, 12, 14, 16, 18) at least in part differently configured with respect to their surface extent and/or the directional pattern. At least one structural part (10) of a first type is provided with a curvature and with a longitudinal orientation. Structural parts (12) of a second type at least in part follow that curvature. Since the structural part (10) of the first type is designed as a shell and since the structural parts (12) of the second type are combined in pairs into groups (20, 22) and extend transversely to the longitudinal orientation of the structural part (10) of the first type, the edge area is strengthened by an additional structural part. The additional structural part is an integral component of the shielding body and does not need mounting-bracket parts positioned on the edge side.
